NEW YORK -- A firefighter was seriously hurt Sunday after responding to a crash in Hell's Kitchen.
Fire officials say it happened around 3:20 p.m.
Randi Wahn says she was in a sedan at West 42nd Street and 11th Avenue, with her husband, Matthew, behind the wheel.
Acting FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh says the firefighters were trying to stabilize the SUV on top and remove the occupants when the driver hit the gas, causing the SUV to fall onto firefighter Ryan Warnock, pinning him down.
The frightening moment was caught on camera.
"Thank God the firefighter came out in one piece," witness Ben Arias said.
Warnock was taken to a local hospital in serious but stable condition. No one else was injured.
